Burton Albion's search for a first Championship point of the season continues at the Riverside Stadium tonight as they take on recently-relegated Middlesbrough (7.45pm).
The Brewers were beaten 4-1 by Hull City - who came down from the Premier League alongside Boro in May - on Saturday, with Jackson Irvine sent off and Stephen Warnock taken off injured.
That pair are both likely to miss the clash with Boro, although the side is expected to be largely the same otherwise as Burton look to get their account ticking over .
Garry Monk's hosts did just that with a 1-0 victory over Sheffield United at the weekend, and they will be targeting another victory on home soil tonight, as we learnt when speaking to the Gazette's Jonathon Taylor ahead of the game.

Here's some more Nigel Clough reaction
This is why Clough said he was “delighted” with his players despite the 2-0 defeat to Middlesbrough...
Nigel Clough confirms that the club are attempting to bring back Cauley Woodrow
Yes, we made an enquiry. Cauley was in the squad for tonight, but he was in the Fulham squad (for their game). But we’ll start pursuing it again in the morning.
Nigel Clough pleased with tonight's performance despite the result
We’re delighted with how well the players did tonight. There’s so much encouragement going into Friday night and next Saturday because of the performance tonight.
Full-time!
And Burton slip to another defeat - their third in three games - to Middlesbrough.
Two Britt Assombalonga goals proved to be the difference, and any hopes the Brewers would have had of getting back into the game were quickly extinguished when Hope Akpan got himself sent off for a lunge on Lewis Baker.
Stay tuned for post-match reaction from Nigel Clough and Garry Monk, along with Joshua Murray’s verdict on tonight’s defeat.
87: Boro counter
But Lloyd Dyer does superbly well to track back and deny Ashley Fletcher, who was bearing down on goal after racing onto an Adama Traore pass.
83: Boro sub
Gestede making way for Ashley Fletcher.
I now make that former Barcelona, Manchester United and Chelsea players that Monk has been able to call upon off the subs bench.
Not bad...
81: Dyer looks through on goal
But puts pressure on Boro defender Fry, with the latter earning himself a free-kick.
Looked very harsh on Dyer.
80: Any Brewers hopes of getting back into the game now have surely been extinguished
Poor from sub Akpan, who had only been on the field a matter of minutes.
79: Looked a similar challenge to the one on Lund earlier
And referee Robinson didn’t even give a free-kick for that.
78: RED CARD: Hope Akpan has been sent off!
Looks like Akpan has been sent off for a studs-up challenge on Lewis Baker...
69: Brewers sub
Sordell makes way for Tom Flanagan.
George Friend put the ball through Sordell’s legs, and the forward seemed to pull up after giving chase to Friend.
68: Christie's cross is met by Lewis Baker
And Assombalonga just can’t get a touch on it at the back post.
